Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is an aesthetic procedure performed to achieve better skin tone and texture, and to remove fine lines, especially on the face. Chemical peels remove the outer layers of skin, which are damaged by age, sun, acne, wrinkles, or pigmentation problems. Removing the outer skin prompts the body to generate a new layer of skin cells. At The Elizabeth Roche MD MedSpa in Bergen County NJ, we have a peel for all skin types and skin tones, including darker complexions. Our formulas are tailored and customized to your individual skin care needs and your lifestyle.

At the time of your procedure, any active skin infection or acne needs to be under control in order to maximize results. There are several different types of chemical solutions which can be used. We offer glycolic, salicylic, lactic, retinoic and hydroquinone peels. Dr. Roche or our nurse will select what is best for you based on your skin condition, skin tone and desired result.

Reasons for Considering a Chemical Peel:

Reduce facial wrinkles and lines.

Improve sun-damaged skin.

Correct age spots and pigmentation problems.

Melasma

Lighten scars (especially from acne)

Achieve radiant, vibrant, healthy skin

What Peels Does The Elizabeth Roche M.D. MedSpa Have To Offer?

At The Elizabeth Roche M.D. MedSpa in Bergen County, NJ, we have a variety of chemical peels to choose from. Everything from Gentle Peels to Strong Peels. Below is a list of peels we offer:

The Elizabeth Roche MD Peels – All of our peels are medical grade and customizable to address your specific needs, goals and your available “downtime” or how much peeling you can tolerate.

Evanish – The “Melange” Peel but improved and renamed! A special peel to help reduce stubborn pigmentation issues. This peel can be used on all skin types and is especially ideal for patients who are darker skinned with pigment issues or deep wrinkles and can not use laser technology.

Elite – This customizable peel is perfect for anti-aging. It addresses wrinkles, skin texture and pigment issues. It is not as strong as the Evanish and may require a series to achieve desired results as the stronger Evanish peel.

Elite Petite – This peel is a gentler than the Elite peel. An ideal peel for skin that is more sensitive and in need for rejuvenation. The best results are also seen when a series of these peels are done.

Equalage – This “peel” is formulated for patients with Rosacea, reddish complexion or very sensitive skin. There is actually minimal to no peeling. The active ingredients help control the redness while also providing skin rejuvenation for a health complexion.

Eliminé – This peel is formulated to help our patients with acne or even occasional breakouts. It too is customizable for your specific needs. The Eliminé peel is not just for younger patients as we have found it to help skin of all ages look clear and radiant. Read more here.

Derma-peel – This is our lightest customizable peel. It is perfect to have prior to a big night out or an important event. This three-step process involves mechanical peeling called derma-blading, a light lactic or glycolic acid, and a finishing cryotherapy treatment for that extra glow. Read more here.

SkinMedica® Peels

Rejuvenize – For moderate to severe skin imperfections. The strongest of the SkinMedica® peels providing about 5-7 days of peeling. A series is needed for stubborn pigment and aging issues. Optimal results are achieved after 3 to 6 peels.

Vitalize – For mild to moderate skin imperfections. It provides 3-5 days of peeling with a smooth glowing result. Great for monthly maintenance after correcting more severe issues with the stronger peels.

Illuminize – For mild skin imperfections. Minimal to no peeling involved but provides a beautiful glow. Great for a quick peel to have glowing skin for the weekend.

Superficial Chemical Peels

We recommend our Illuminize Peel or DermaPeel for those patients that want a gentle peel that will illuminate their skin without the downtime.

Medium Strength Chemical Peels

Medium Strength chemical peels are highly effective in promoting skin smoothness and vitality, improving color, texture, skin tone, and fine wrinkles. Medium depth peels can be achieved with a variety of chemicals. Often glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and other agents are also used.

Medium peels may be repeated every three to six months for optimal results. Medium peels may be performed safely on people with olive and light brown skin.

We recommend our Vitalize Peel for those patients that want a medium strength peel with a few days of gentle exfoliation.

Strong Chemical Peels

For those patients who want a more aggressive and stronger strength peel, we recommend a series of The Elite Peels, or for stubborn pigment problems we recommend The Melanage Peel, now known as the Evanish Peel System.
